Duvalier Johnson

There was a play that I could go to where Jokic had a straight layup, decided to kick it out for a three that would have extended the lead, but he could have made that layup.

Then from there, they had an opportunity to take the last shot in the game, try to end the game on their terms.

They went early in the play,

Kicked it out to Cam Johnson.

He shit the bed.

So then they go into overtime, and I just truly cannot believe that with SGA not out there, they were not able to execute or figure out a way to win.

So it's just another letdown spot for the Nuggets when it comes to clutch time.

That's my Red Hawk roofing big takeaway.

Oh, yeah.

I feel like Big Val has been playing bad.

Like, you know, the plus minus shows that he hasn't been playing well.

But this was like a meaningful one, so it stands out a bit more.

You talk about this not being a matchup for Big Val.

it seems like there's not many of them with these playoff teams, like the teams that they're going to go against in the playoffs.

Jalen Williams, he does stay on the perimeter a bit, but Chet, he should be able to hang with Hartenstein.

He should be able to throw some minutes every now and then, but they're not doing anything valuable with his minutes out there.

And yes, A.G.

is supposed to be in that spot, but when you have Big Val, he's supposed to be a bruiser.

He's supposed to...

be overwhelming and he does not do those it's a lot of those push shots a lot of those push backs um they're not using them for his strengths and i think that's what the issue is but they're going to him though i don't know if they're not using him they're going into him in the post and he's getting fadeaways he's you know he's not getting he's just not that dominant well it's just the defense is going to live with those shots
